Thanks to the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), the EU is saving 33.4 million MWh of energy every year⚡ This is equivalent to the annual energy consumption of 20.9 million Europeans, highlighting the concrete impact of EU investments. The RRF finances a wide range of energy-related projects and reforms, including energy efficiency, renewables, energy infrastructure, and hydrogen. This demonstrates its broad contribution to Europe’s clean energy transition. 📊 Learn more in the RRF 2025 Implementation Report 👉 https://lnkd.in/dZstBGaF #RRF #EnergyTransition

Like many EU regions, Flanders (Belgium) is committed to tackling energy and climate challenges, including improving buildings’ energy performance by 75% by 2050. Meeting this target will require an average annual deep renovation rate of around 3% of the housing stock. #CitizenLedRenovation initiatives can help accelerate this transition by addressing financial, trust, and knowledge barriers through locally and collectively organised support 🤝 Thanks to the CLR project, communities will have a new ally: a shared library of tools, services, and resources to support their citizen-led renovation.   Read the full article ➜ https://lnkd.in/d3YU5Xid
